1. Is +25 the cap for certain foods?
2. Has anyone ever made +26 Bivoli?
3. Is +26 Vegeparsine better than +25?
4, Has anyone tested this before or is there any documentation on it?

I don't think anyones ever made a +26 bivoli but I'm pretty sure food caps at +25 anyway.

I've never heard of +26 bivoli, but it wouldn't make much of a difference, and i doubt they'd be a noticable difference between +25 and +26 vegaphrasine.

All number after the decimal place on foods DO NOT MAKE AN DIFFERENT 
+25.99 Bivoli is EXACTLY the same as +25
Therefore i am for a lower decimal place number for example +25.1 so that i have more point to put into duration / uses.

I think most people know that, they are just stated who high they have gotten.

25 is more of an "achievable" cap than an "effectiveness" cap. Each food has a "capped" buff in the sense that you can't experiment above 100% and BE tissues only give so much bonus.
A +26 Bivoli is technically possible, but it would require a 119 INN and 970+ OQ/PE carnivore meat and vegetables. Vegeparsine appears to have an identical buff range as Bivoli, so equivalent stats would apply to that to reach +26 melee defense, although for parsine you only need 970+ OQ/PE tubers, which may be a bit easier to find.
As far as any dev discussion I've ever seen, there is no hard cap to the bonus you can get from food, other than the 100% Nutrition experimentation + 100% Tissue experimentation.However, most stat bonus foods have a buff range of 7.5 - 12, so by design they cannot have a bonus higher than +26.4 (assuming they take a heavy additive).

We had +26 bivoli made on starsider the day they changed the crafting to allow experimentation past the cap. (allowing 100% experimentation).

Yes.. food stats are not capped at +25.
This is shown most easily with thakatillo, which can give you around +100 to defense vs knockdwon. There's some other foods that give you over +25.
The question you have to ask yourself is it worth making a food at +26 instead of +25 or should you lower the filling or increase the duration instead. I find for vegeparsine it makes more sense to spend those experimentation points on lowering the filling.
